AR fundamentally can't work.

To work, it has to understand the world around us. It needs to be full AI.

There's also no reason why we would want it. Nothing. As we develop ways to augment our world a simple phone can deliver the info.

VR has a use case for entertainment. It has no business or education case.

Work is done by reducing dimensions and abstracting things not adding dimensions and unabstraction.

But at least entertainment will propel the VR industry forward so we can see if anything else pops out.

Magic Leap faked all use cases from day one. It was obvious on multiple levels it was vaporware

I have a feeling this comment will be linked on HN eventually (in about a decade) the same way people link that one infamous comment about Dropbox being an unnecessary thing that no one needs or wants. Or the same way people in 2019 mock those from a couple of decades ago who were saying that internet was "just a fad" that will go away sooner rather than later.
